Corum is re-issuing three vintage watches

To mark it’s 55th birthday, Corum is reissuing a vintage watch collection, along with its most iconic watch ‘The Admiral’s Cup.’ Corum introduced this new collection of watches to commemorate it’s 55th anniversary.
Founded by René Bannwart, the featured Corum watches are elegant and intricately designed. It is no surprise that when the Admiral’s Cup watch was re-released, the public wanted a piece of the prize. Fully equipped with 66 white diamonds and created with black steel, this watch is sure to impress.
The case timepiece that will be reissued is the Chinese Hat which was made just a year after the Golden Tube. The 1958 watch got its unique name as its design brings to mind the hat worn by peasants working in the rice fields of the Middle Kingdom. The 33 mm-diameter case is embellished with 142 full-cut diamonds, weighing 2.44 carats in totality. The watch is available with either a white mother-of-pearl dial enhanced by three diamonds or, a dial entirely paved with diamonds. The miniature CO237 Quartz movement is set to time by means of a corrector hidden beneath the case. Just like the Golden Tube, the Chinese Hat timepiece will be limited to 30 pieces and be available in red or white gold with a leather strap or gem-set gold bracelet.
The second boasts of a fluted crown positioned at 12 o’clock and decorated with a white mother-of-pearl cabochon. The dial is available either set with diamonds or in white mother-of-pearl with three diamonds at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. Powered by the CO137 Quartz movement, this timepiece is truly a must have creation. Limited to just 30 exquisite pieces, this model will be available in either red or white gold with either an alligator strap or a gem-set gold bracelet.
The final vintage timepiece to make a comeback is the Round Golden Bridge. Boasting of the legendary C0113 baguette movement, it is the most determinedly “horological” of the three timepieces. Made exactly 30 years ago, this timepiece is a mechanical genius that accommodates 140 components within a space just 33 mm long, 3 mm high and less than 5 mm thick. It boasts of features like a barrel equipped with slip-springs, a 40-hour power reserve, as well as the solid gold hand-engraved mainplate and bridges. Featuring a transparent case back and a guilloché-work dial which is placed not above, but on either side of the movement, this timepiece allows its wearer to admire its technical genius. A limited edition of 75 pieces, the Round Golden Bridge is definitely a must have for the watch connoisseur.
The rest of the dial is black with vertical texturing, while the sloped flange ring is lined with triangular gold hour markers. The watch hands are stubby, but that is because of the movement. They can't be too heavy, and that petite movement can only take so much weight. The movement bridge/plate is nicely engraved, and I like the design of the case which visually continues on to the lugs. The watch is matched to a black crocodile strap, and is limited to just 75 pieces. So you ask, is it a man's watch or a woman's watch? In this case, that is up to you.
